Lew's speed spool or Shimano Chronarch
 
All of my reels are jacked up. I'm looking to replace them with either of these. Not sure which I should go with.

I like my Lew's. Been having it a about a year with no issues.

That being said I fish with a buddy with a chronarch and he can cast about 20% further with me with same bait.

You will low them. But the chron is sweet too.

Tourny pro !

bjhooper82 06-25-2013 05:23 PM

Another vote for Lews. I have a few of them and have never had any problems.

SGib 06-25-2013 07:25 PM

T pro is nasty. Can out cast the curado I have. Had it with 2 brakes on and just played with only one on. Man it cast stupid far

jlincecum 06-25-2013 07:55 PM

both are good reels. depending on which Lew's you get I think it will come down to which one you are more comfortable with. Put each one on a rod and hold it for a while to see which one feels better to you.

Can't go wrong with either. I have one of each and they perform great. Have had my tourney pro's for over two years with no issues.

PotLikinisAhabbit 06-25-2013 09:41 PM

Lews is lighter but I find I prefer to fish with the chronarch. Better feeling reel IMO.

Shimano all day

Vermillionaire 06-26-2013 02:50 PM

At this point I'm leaning toward the Lew's, but there are so many to choose from. They are all made in the same place and very minute differences. I guess it just comes down to what you want to spend?

Montauk17 06-26-2013 03:10 PM

Chronarch is made in Japan.....Lews is made in Korea. Not to say lews isn't good I own 2 but I still prefer shimano. Parts are easier to come by and just feels more solid to me.

Patt 06-26-2013 03:49 PM

I've always had shimano never had any problems until the new chronarchs I got a tourney pro and would choose a lews over a chronarch any day

What problems did you have? I have 2 200e7 curados and a 200e7 chron and torture them and never had problems. Love my Lews tourney pro too but haven't had it long enough to say it takes a beating but it is one sweet reel.

Dont think you can wrong with either one.

Get one of each

Patt 06-26-2013 07:30 PM

I got a new chronarch when they first came out and it'll literally fell apart on me fishing after about 4 months I got another one through warranty and haven't had a problem

mstulb 06-26-2013 11:04 PM

Chronarch if you plan on using primary saltwater-

Lew's I had on the Duce prototype didn't take the salt overtime.and several friends saying the same.

Nothing will outthrow the older aluminum frame chronarchs if you can find a good old one.
